My First Time: K Camp

K Camp reflects on radio breakthroughs and his first words out the womb

In our column My First Time, we ask some of our favorite artists to share some of the all-important firsts that have helped shape their lives. Today, Atlanta club staple K Camp speaks on his first brushes with local stardom, and cutting hair before cutting bitches off.

The first birthday I can remember: I remember all of my birthdays. The first one I ever had when I was born. 4/27 that’s my birth date, I came out the womb. I came out screaming “Turn Up.”

My first favorite rapper: I’d probably say Tupac, cause that’s who I came up on when I was young. I just seen Tupac’s movement, he was just one of the coolest niggas doing it to me. He just didn’t give a fuck.

My first time on the radio: I think it had to be with a record called “Battlegrounds” in 2007 that was before my first hit “All Night.” It was “Battlegrounds” on 107.9FM. I think that was the first time.

My first summer job: It was at a barbershop, I used to sweep hair and shit. I was just doing this for extra money during the summer.

My first time lost distance traveling: When I had the record “All Night.” I was just booked throughout the southern region. It wasn't too far, but that was my first time really traveling.

My first time being recognized on the street: My face was known in my city. On the east side, west side that was when I first recognized. It was in random ass spot I don’t really remember exactly, but it was during that “All Night” time.
